Help me choose next car.

Keik E92 M3 · 12-12-2011, 08:15 PM

Hey guys, i am currently in the market for another car. Currently i have a 2011 335i msport that i will be trading in. I am looking for something that is either a 11 second car stock or that can be modified to run 11's and gets good handling with a nice exhaust note. Here is what im down to, let me know what you guys think for daily driving and drag strip. Considering road course as well.

2011 BMW M3 DCT
2010 Nissan GTR
2006 Dodge Viper SRT-10
2009 Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG
2009 BMW M6 Coupe
2012 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG
2011 BMW 550i Sedan M-sport Manual

Thanks

What does that have to do with what the OP asked? He is obviously interested in an M3 or he wouldn't have listed it.

Rob@StrasseWheels · 12-12-2011, 09:00 PM

I would say GTR all day... The best thing to do would be to go for a test drive...

captainaudio · 12-12-2011, 09:19 PM

The Viper and the GTR are at opposite ends of the spectrum. The Viper is a raw low tech beast and very unforgiving (and a blast to drive).

+1

If funds can support it, I would Supercharge the M3.

CallMeWonder · 12-12-2011, 09:53 PM

GT-R!!!

Ateam · 12-12-2011, 10:17 PM

If you can only pay 70k how are you going to affor maintence and such on a used gtr? Seems out of your range.

I would get a new nicely optioned m3 for right around that price with warranty. A 2009 m6 will be costly out of warranty soon. The new f10 550 with a tune will probably be as fast as anything in a straight line except a gtr and way faster than the m3 down a quarter mile

M3PO · 12-12-2011, 10:19 PM

GT-R! My next car will be a 2012+ GT-R.

FVM3 · 12-12-2011, 10:47 PM

GTR

X54SiQI · 12-12-2011, 10:58 PM

Will take the GTR

cold m3 · 12-12-2011, 11:08 PM

Def GTR they are sick to bad they dont come in 6MT

MisterSkiMask · 12-12-2011, 11:26 PM

You seem to blow through cars quickly, you are not likely to lose money on the viper. Buy one, flog it (try not to die) and dump it for something else...a GTR when it is even cheaper.

M3WC · 12-13-2011, 12:20 AM

From that list, either GTR or C63 Coupe

Keik E92 M3 · 12-13-2011, 12:26 PM

Thanks guys, looks like the GTR gets the most votes..

Q4P · 12-13-2011, 12:31 PM

2006 Dodge Viper SRT-10
2009 Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG
2009 BMW M6 Coupe
2012 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG
2011 BMW 550i Sedan M-sport Manual

All of the above don't fit your description at all. All of those benzes C63 included are terrible on road courses, the 550i is useless as well and way too heavy. The Viper is the worst daily driver in the world and has an 8.4L motor. An 11 second m3 with an ESS supercharger is far from worth it if you can get a GTR. GTR is the clear winner on all accounts but ultimately it's your decision.
